Module 01
Buyer Universe Sprint
A 48-hour buyer-mapping module for M&A teams that need a clearer view of likely acquirers.
§ 01 Specification
What this engagement is, in fixed terms.
- Turnaround
- 48 hours from mandate confirmation and receipt of inputs
- Delivered as
- PDF brief, Excel buyer universe, source-linked evidence register
- Core question
- Who could realistically buy this business, and why?
Built for deal teams, advisors, founders, investors and corporate development functions who need a structured view of potential buyers before launching outreach, assessing exit options or validating acquisition interest.
The module turns fragmented market information into a prioritised buyer universe with clear rationale, fit scoring, precedent context and source-linked support.
§ 02 Scope
What you receive, what we need, and what this is not.
What you receive
A structured buyer universe covering strategic buyers, financial sponsors where relevant, buyer rationale, fit scoring, comparable transaction context where available, and prioritised outreach logic.
The output is built to be used directly in internal discussion, advisor preparation, exit planning or early process design. It clarifies which buyers are genuinely relevant, which are weaker theoretical fits, and which names should be prioritised.
What we need from you
Usually the target company or sector, geography, approximate revenue or EBITDA range if available, preferred buyer type, and any buyers to be excluded for confidentiality or strategic reasons.
If the company is confidential, the sprint can begin from an anonymised sector description.
What this is not
Not legal advice, tax advice, regulated investment advice, valuation advice, or a guarantee of buyer interest. It is a source-linked intelligence product supporting internal decision-making and buyer-market preparation.
§ 03 Intake
Request the Buyer Universe Sprint.
An anonymised description is enough to begin. Include the sector, geography, timing and the decision the output needs to support.
